AI-driven test automation

With AI-powered test generation in Simplifier, you no longer have to write OPA5 test code by hand.
Just deploy your app, start an AI Journey, and record a normal user flow by clicking through the application.

In the background, the AI analyzes everything you do and automatically creates the corresponding Journeys and Page Objects as fully executable tests. This means you can turn real user scenarios into reliable automated tests in a fraction of the time—without any coding at all.

And when your app changes, you can simply re-record or extend a journey. The AI updates your tests for you, so you don’t have to start from scratch. (Read more)

Our AI-powered testing is currently an experimental first version. We’re releasing it early so you can already benefit from it, gather your feedback, and continuously improve accuracy, flexibility, and integration in the upcoming Simplifier releases.

AI-driven test automation in Simplifier enables faster releases with more test coverage. A much lower entry barrier for people without coding skills. Less repetitive test maintenance. And more time for your experts to focus on architecture, quality, and innovation. In short: you turn real user journeys into automated tests — in a fraction of the time.

New Theme Designer

With our new Theme Designer, you can easily create real Fiori themes for free.

And that’s not all: the Theme Designer is completely open source and available on GitHub, so you can use it, extend it, and integrate it into your own workflows. (Read more)

Refresh License

Refresh the license on your instances to make sure it is up to date (Read more).

Update Standard Content

Update Standard Content to ensure you have all current fixes and features available on your instances. (Download here)

Please check the endpoint of AppWizard Connector, Standard Workflow Connectors, Login, and Captcha Connector (Read more).

Replace the CBO function SF_File / convertFileToDataURL if used with Base64 files

The input parameter isBase64 is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use the CBO function SF_File / convertFileToObjectURL instead. Find the places by using the Business Object usage feature.

This migration note was already published with MAKERS CHOICE 25-10.

[Integration] Result type in SQL Connector endpoints

Currently, you can set a result type in SQL Connectors. As the result types are call-specific and not connector-specific, we will remove this field in a later version

Deprecated since MAKERS CHOICE 25-12; Removal tbd

[Integration] Client 1.0 API route to access Proxy-Connector

Our new Proxy Connector will be accessible via the Client 2.0 route (Read more). Starting with MAKERS CHOICE 25-10/Simplifier 10, all old Proxy Connectors are migrated to the new one. Until Simplifier 11, the Client 1.0 route is still available. If you use it in Scripts, Client-side Business Objects, or REST-Connectors, please change it to the Client 2.0 route to keep accessing your Proxy Connectors.

Deprecated since MAKERS CHOICE 25-08; Removal with MAKERS CHOICE 26-04/Removal with Simplifier 11

[Integration] Parameter ‘parametrized’ on calling Business Objects within Scripts and Client-Side Business Objects

When calling Server-Side Business Objects within Scripts or Client-Side Business Objects, the developer was able to deactivate the input validation by setting the API’s parameter ‘parametrized’ to false. This parameter is now deprecated. You can already deactivate the parameter in the Feature Settings.

Deprecated since MAKERS CHOICE 25-07; Removal with MAKERS CHOICE 26-04/Simplifier 11

[Applications] Event tab in UI Designer

Our UI designer still has the legacy feature to add scripts to events directly in the Event tab. As we want to provide a consistent App Building, we will remove this feature with Simplifier 10. Simply use our Process Designer instead.

As we are developing our new Application Editor as a parallel solution to the existing one, we won’t remove that feature, but will not implement it in the new one

Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 3; Removal in new Application Editor

[Integration] Javascript execution in PDFs created by PDF Plugin

Currently, it is possible to add Javascript to PDFs created by PDF Plugin. This is a potential risk for Server Side XSS (PDF Injection) and Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The option to add Javascript to PDFs in PDF Plugin is now deactivated but can be activated at its own risk. The activation is subject to be removed in later Releases.

Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 3; Removal tbd

[System requirements] Support of Oracle for Simplifier databases

Oracle support for your Simplifier instances has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 4; Removal tbd

The settings to activate deprecated Connector API will be removed with Simplifier 10 LTS. Please make sure you do not use the deprecated Connector API anymore.

Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 4; Removal tbd

[Integration] Captcha Plugin

Our Captcha Plugin won’t be updated anymore and was removed from the plugin list in our default installation/upgrade guides.
